The child's father was informed by Annette Scroggins, a CPS case worker on
Thursday, December 8th that his daughter had sustained a head injury the previous
Tuesday. The father was told the infant had taken a fall from a couch in the
home of foster parents where she resides.

The baby was hospitalized and discharged on Wednesday, and placed back in the
very same foster home, where she had received the injuries. The distraught father
has not been allowed to see his daughter. The case worker claimed it was not a
good idea for him to see her because she was
medicated.

It is unclear why Scroggins waited two-days to inform the father of the injuries.
The baby has been in foster care since she was one-month old. The father is currently
allowed a two-hour visit with his child once each week.

The father was refused
a visit when he requested to see the infant after hearing of her injuries. It remains
to be determined if his regularly scheduled Monday visit will resume this week.

CPS officials gave two additional reasons for the injury, when pressed for
details, stating that the child fell while in a highchair and later stating
that the child was in a chair on the counter and fell to the floor, leading to
speculation of exactly how the infant sustained such a serious head injury.

No investigation has been conducted.

The infant had suffered a skull fracture
and was released the following day. According to the case worker the
neurosurgeon stated it was an accident.

The biological father's rights have never been terminated altered or changed
and he has continued to work towards completing the case plan set forth by
caseworkers, even though he disputes the reason CPS agents removed his child from
the home. The baby had resided with him
since birth. The
father reports that CPS agents now allege that he had abandoned his child.
